SOUL 2001 LIFTS OFF!

Rationale

Paul and I have four main motivators for our planning process this year:

Interaction and autonomy; light organizational load for everyone.

Low impact, excellent cleanup.

Participation: let a thousand art projects bloom

Love, sweet love.

As usual, we start with 1001 burning questions that we'll need to tackle
so we can cut down on the bureaucracy the closer we get to 2001/08/27.
I've split the questions into two parts. Both sets are on the Spiral
website, managed by the marvellous Mr. Makepeace,
but in order to cut down on overload I'm posting a subset first on the list; second mail to
follow once the first
lot are addressed.

So please, ladies, gentlemen and others, take the time to look through
the list, and reply direct to Paul and myself (inline will be
easiest for us to digest) with your comments, questions and suggestions.
We'll collate your replies and summarize for the list.
A lot of questions, but the answers'll help us keep the organizational
load light. Thanks very much in advance for your input if you have it -
and perhaps most urgently, for your vote on the village and your
estimation of #s in your party + modes of transportation, and
volunteers!
